Japanese curry (Karē), Japan
Japanese curry, known as karē, is one of the most popular dishes in the country and was ranked #1 in the world in 2022. Karē began to gain popularity in Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912). In the early years, curry with rice was considered an expensive dish for rich gourmets.
Compared to Indian curry, curry is less spicy, sweeter, darker and usually thicker due to the addition of flour or rice. In Japan, there are three main versions of curry - curry over rice, noodles and curry pastries. The most popular variety is kare with rice, which is usually served with pickled fukujinzuke cucumbers or Japanese onions.
Picanha, Brazil
Picanha is a fresh cut of beef that is particularly popular and highly valued in Brazil. The picanya is located on the back of the animal above the butt, or rather on its fat cap. The name "picanha" comes from the word "picana", which means a rancher's pole used for grazing cattle in Portugal and Spain. This technique was brought to Brazil, where the word "picaña" was used to refer to the part of the cow that was poked with a pole.
Picaña is mostly used for churrasco - the meat is first grilled and then skewered.
Clams de Boullao Pato, Portugal
This simple Portuguese dish is named after the 19th century poet Raimundo Antonio de Bugliao Pato. Combines shellfish and an aromatic sauce based on olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, white wine and fresh cilantro. Bulhão Pato clams are usually eaten as an appetizer and served with bread.
Tanbao, China
Tangbao is a broad group of Chinese steamed dumplings. Depending on the origin, varenyky can be made from yeast or ordinary dough. The filling is usually made from minced pork or crab. One of the most common varieties of the dish is tanbao dumplings, originating from Jiangsu province. Xiaolongbao is a true Shanghai version, famous for its small size and slightly thinner dough. All varieties of tanbao can be tried in China and in Chinese restaurants around the world.
Cağ kebabı, Turkey
Cağ kebabı is a type of kebab that originates from the Turkish city of Erzurum. It is prepared from lamb, which is marinated with onions, salt and pepper for about 12 hours. Then the meat is placed on a large horizontal skewer and grilled over wood. The dish is traditionally eaten directly from the skewer or the meat is wrapped in warm, freshly baked pita bread.
Pizza Margherita, Italy
Margherita pizza is one of the most popular types of pizza in the world. In 2009, it was awarded the European STG protection mark, which confirms its unsurpassed taste and traditional cooking technique. In 1889, Queen Margaret of Savoy visited Naples, where she was served a pizza that resembled the colors of the Italian flag: red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese, and green basil. The pizza was prepared by Chef Raffaele Esposito from Brandi Pizzeria. He is credited with the authorship of the Margherita pizza recipe.
